HI Bala ,

Are you saying downloading the file programatically.If you have a link
you can right click and save as it will download to your local folder.

but the link pointing to another computer under same domain. not in the
server.

From server we can access that file. bcos all same domain. but end user
cannt download those files. any other alternative for this.

Take a look at Response.Page.TransmitFile().

Hi

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

Actually i am loading the file path to one of my datagrid column (Hidden
column) and also i have download button. once the user click that button, the
user get that file from using the hyperlink column.

Do you think its possible to get using TransmitFile?

Thanks

I don't see why not. You can get the filename from wherever you want - but
don't forget to consider the security implications of someone sending their
own postdata; you probably don't want user A getting access to user B's files.
